Taking an average of all runs completed to date, leading on 69.81 per cent is Ros Perry, very closely followed by Saxby Morley on 69.65 per cent with Theresa Moxham in third place at 68.90 per cent. Results can all change quickly, as only each athlete's best six results count. The point score finishes on 31st August, so there is still time for members who may have been resting after the track and field season to have shot at winning the inaugural AW Parkrun Championship.
